Naked chardonnay, French onion soup, miso butterfish, Sansei Sushi and D.K. Steakhouse – what do these things have in common? Answer: the bar at 2552 Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, Hawaii. You can order off both menus and enjoy the best of both worlds. I love sushi (try the 69 roll if you like eel), but I LOVE miso butterfish. The sweet, umami morsels melt in your mouth. You should have seen my mom Dinah’s face when she tried it for the first time the other night. She nearly fell off her bar stool. From the other side of the bar we never miss an opportunity to order D.K.’s French onion soup. It’s probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Their dry-aged steaks are so amazing I’m not surprised. They must have piles of flavorful bones to roast for their stock. Add sweet Maui onions and oo-la-la. The other great thing about this bar is the wine selection and flights. They’ve carried Four Vines Naked Chardonnay for the past couple years – the perfect complement to fresh island fish. Aloha!
